Christmas season is just around the corner. Everything related to buying goods will be a rush. Crowded malls, crowded groceries, full parking areas, heavy traffic everywhere. Why go through all these hassle when there is an alternative way to do all these at the comfort of your own home!

Introducing the NEW EASY GROCERY APP! This application is available on both App Store and Google Playstore!

Happy mum 😘

Luckily, I was one of the chosen few to attend the launching of this new online app at Openspace in Makati last September 24.

EASY GROCERY APP contains all the products that you will find in your favorite grocery! All you have to do is download the app (it’s FREE!),

then register with your details and delivery address!

Once you do, you can pick all the items you need to buy, just how you would in your regular grocery, the difference is you do it on your mobile device and at the comfort of your own home! You can also do these while in the office, to avoid the traffic rush! Your grocery goods can be delivered to your home within 1 hour! P100 peso for service charge and P100 for delivery charge. Way better than plowing thru the crowded areas, parking fees and traffic jams!

I can still remember how much of a street kid I was. The only gadgets then were game & watch, Nintendo, and tetris- not that interested. I would rather go out after my siesta and play outside with my friends. As a girl Im not into tea parties and stuff like that, I'm more interested in extreme games (luksong baka, luksong tinik, patintero, tumbang preso, chinese garter, agawang-bahay, etc...) lol 😅 imagine how sweaty and smelly I was 😂 It's so gross and it drives my mom crazy. I will take a bath naman when I get home.

In this day and age our little ones would rather play with their gadgets than play out doors. Poor kiddos, you are missing a lot of fun. Fun under the sun! I must admit my kids and I are always inside our home. Since I want to finish other house chores, I have no choice but to let them kids have screen time (both gadget and television).

I'm happy that Princess Y and I were invited to an afternoon full of learning and fun by Tupperware Brands Philippines. They also invited the Gymboree Team to facilitate play time with the kids, while us moms listen to the speakers.

Play allows children to use their creativity while developing their imagination, dexterity, and physical, cognitive, and emotional strength. Play is important to healthy brain development. It is through play that children at a very early age engage and interact in the world around them.

Why Kids Need to Play?Play helps children gain healthy emotional development because it allows them to express their conscious and unconscious experiences regarding their feelings about their life and things that are going on around them. Play is also important to a child's neurological development.

They may start to emit bad odor after hours of play. My kids sometimes smell AWFUL after playing outside!! Only a bath helps... Who knew kids could be so stinky like that?! ha ha! All kids smell like puppies when they play outside. There's nothing wrong with your kids. That's just how they smell.😅

While us moms were busy with the discussion, our little ones were busy playing with The Gymboree Team..

Here is a snippet of the activities :

After the activities, as expected, our kids smell like "you know" (lol) but happy that Tupperware Brands have this Playtime Collection product line that keeps our kids protected and feeling fresh again until we got home.

Always.always.keep our little ones hydrated! 😉

Here's the Playtime Collection:

Kids Plus+ Cologne

A gentle low-alcohol cologne with a special Hydraplus formula that contains moisturizers to help prevent dryness, leaving kid's sensitive skin soft, smooth, and freshly fragrant. With a mild pH-balanced formula that wont irritate kid's skin. This fun, fruity scent that kids enjoy lasts up to 3 hours before you need to reapply.

Kids Plus+ Powder

A gentle ultra-fine powder ideal even for sensitive kids. With allantoin that prevents irritation and inflammation while soothing kid's skin and keeping it fresh and dry. This low-dusting mild formula also decreases the ride of inhalation. Comes in a fun, fruity scent that kids enjoy.

A light lotion that's smooth and gentle on the skin. With Nectapure to protect against pollution and 24Hr locked-in moisturizers and Vitamin E to leave kid's skin feeling velvety smooth and soft all day. With a mild pH-balanced formula that won't irritate kids skin and a fun, fruity scent that kids enjoy.

I love the Kids Plus+ products, perfect for my kids' sensitive skin. BTW, I also use the powder and cologne everyday. lovin the sweet smell... lakas maka baby! hihi. We are happy with the products! :-)

The smell makes me want to gobble up my sweethearts.

We don't want to stop them from learning as they grow, do we? Let them kids play. Enjoy their childhood. Don't be praning!

Between deadlines, your boss, carmaggedon and the holiday season slowly but steadily creeping into everyone’s schedules, the only thing you have on your mind as the week winds down is…thank God for the weekend!

The top pick for what to do? Short of packing your bags and jetting off to unwind in the picturesque gardens of France is to spend your precious few hours of alone time in the city’s best kept secret—French Tips Nail Parlour.

It’s a nail salon unlike any other, mostly because of the way it combines eco-chic pampering experience with a one-of-a-kind French themed ideal. And from the moment you step in, you’ll be ushered into a luxe escape from the daily grind.

To sneak in a luxurious and eco-friendly treat at French Tips is to be catered to for a few hours. Here, you become a woman of leisure and nature that is doted on and attended to, where you can choose to zone out or chatter idly, depending on your mood and pamper without putting your health at risk.

The scent of lavender gently ushers you to the gardens of Provence as you begin your luxurious, eco-chic journey, where you will be asked how you want a healthy French Tips experience using toxic-free nail polishes, beginning with a luxurious hand or foot washing using all-natural soaks (all of which are designed to whisk you away and take you to a lazy sunny day spent in the quaint orchards of the French countryside using Formaldehyde free and Paraben free materials.

The interiors certainly lend itself to the vibe. Impeccably designed to reflect the quiet luxury of France, each element inside French Tips Nail Parlour lets you bask in the elegance that the country is known for—from the high back armchairs that invite you sink yourself in to the intricate details that pepper the salon interiors like the faux grass and white reindeer heads that adore its walls. The team, all expertly trained to provide the best possible eco-friendly service, are attentive and accommodating—all intent on providing you with a few hours to escape and enjoy this rare, but much deserved opportunity to indulge in a salon which never use animal-derived ingredients in any of their products.

Here, the ideals of the country that inspired its aesthetic and brand of service are evident. Nothing feels rushed and anyone is welcome to pamper themselves for as long as they want in the capable hands of their technicians.

Once you’re done, the experience is certainly enough to make you want to wish you could stay for the entire weekend…but rest assured, you can always come back for more.
